Firkin Fest 2013 @ The Happy Gnome (MN)

Join us at The Happy Gnome for Firkin Fest 2013 on Saturday, March 30 from 12-6 pm. Tickets are $50, and we will be on hand with firkins of BLAST! and Dry Irish Stout. Hear more from the folks at the Fest:

The Happy Gnome is planning on over 75 firkins this year, with a wide variety of styles & flavors. Over 30 breweries will fill firkins for the festival! Firkin “juice” is cask-conditioned ale, meaning the carbonation in the beer comes from the secondary fermentation, which takes place inside the firkin. The brews are unfiltered, and unpasteurized. Firkins require great care and this festival is meant to showcase the complexity and versatility of cask conditioned ale. The brewers take extra time to create these firkins for the fest, and we are proud to support them in their craft beer expertise. We purchase every firkin that is poured at Firkin Fest, and we thank the breweries for their commitment to creating unique cask-conditioned ale for the festival.
